Scanning qr codes

I am trying to use FM Go to scan qr codes which contain job names and addresses, but it seems to only take a photo of the QR and not scan it. I have a container on the form that I tap and hit the barcode option, so I know its different than just taking a picture, so why is it doing this and how do I correct it?

I am an inspector, I go to many jobs in a day. I want to be able to have QR codes with the project info (name, address, contractor, etc.) on my paperwork, so I can scan it, and the information gets inserted into a field on my inspection form. So I dont have to keep re-writing in the data on my inspection form template.

Another approach is to have a lookup table with this data. If you have that data on your paperwork, then perhaps it is already digitized somewhere. And if that's the case, it seems like it can be put into a lookup table on FM Go. When you arrive at a site you would enter a code or use a drop down to select the site and have all the other data populate your form. No barcode or QR code required.

Yes, once the info is scanned, it can live in a table within the program. Its the initial importation of the info that I want to use the QR for.

I tried to both use the container on its own, and use the "insert from Device" function, but I dont think I was coding the script right because the button did nothing when I clicked it. Could anyone give me a script sample of how to write the "insert from device" function correctly?
